Just saw this over on Tamiya's website, thought ya'll would like to know:

Tamiya is releasing a 1/32 F-16CJ Block 50 Fighting Falcon, kit #60315.
No word on price or release date.

Another big jet for you rich modelers with a lot of space in your homes!

Here's the original Tamiya link (in Japanese):

UPDATE
And now, in English (Thanks, Bryan!):

No... noo.... NOOOOOO!!!!!

Not another 1/32 kit I need to have

Where am I supposed to keep them? This Academy Hornet already takes too much space (on my stash).

Oh well, I hope it will suck and I won't feel the need to get it! :-)

I love all these new 1/32 releases but man are they expensive.

Um how bout a link that goes directly to the page the jet is actually on? Cause from what I could tell nothing said anything bout a jet on there. But then again I cannot read Japanese.

I don't mean to sound rude or anything.

Thanks Chuck. I try to drop in when I can and still get a little modelling done but not a bunch. I've always got to stop by and see how all my friends are doing.

On the topic of 1/32 scale kits, though, man is there some great stuff out there now and coming soon. One of the shops close to here has one of the 1/32 Tamiya Wildcats that I would love to build.

Sorry Rattler, that was the only link I had seen at the time I posted...I figured the big "1/32" and "F-16CJ" listed on that page would have been good clues, regardless of your Japanese skills!

And I did warn you it was in Japanese!

Anyhoo, Bryan has posted the nice Hobby Link Japan link (I updated my original post, too), so there ya go!

I'll put it here again, just in case:
